Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Salomon III et roi Louis IV ND (900-911) from Bishopric of Constance (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts King Louis IV, while the reverse side features a representation of the Roman goddess Victory holding a cross, symbolizing the blending of Christian and Roman traditions. This blending of religious imagery is a notable feature of early medieval coinage and reflects the complex religious and cultural landscape of Europe during this time period.
